Abstract

A green and convenient approach to the synthesis of medicinally valuable pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]thiazepines via three-component reaction of appropriate aldehydes, 5-amino-3-methylpyrazole, and α-mercaptocarboxylic acids in water under sonication is described. This new protocol provides, via chemoselective synthesis, a new heptacyclic ring system instead of the expected pentacyclic ring system. Experimental simplicity, good functional group tolerance, excellent yields, short routine, and selectivity without the need of a catalyst are prominent features of this sonocatalyzed procedure. The representative compounds were screened for their in vitro anti-bacterial and anti-tubercular activities.

  70. The H37Rv clinical isolate was obtained from the Institute of Microbial Technology, Surat, India. L. J. was used as nutrient medium to grow and dilute the testing drug suspensions. The inoculum size for the strain test was adjusted to 1 mg/mL. A 2 mg/mL stock solution was prepared for each synthesized drug. DMSO (1 %) was used as diluent/vehicle to obtain the desired concentration of drug to test upon standard fungal strains. In a primary screening, 500, 250, and 125 μg/mL concentrations of the synthesized drugs were used. The active synthesized drugs identified in this primary screening were then diluted to obtain 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.250, 3.125 and 1.5625 μg/mL concentrations, and further tested in a second set of dilutions against all microorganisms. The standard strain MTB H37Rv was retested with each new batch of medium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was defined as the minimum concentration of compound required to inhibit 99 % of bacterial growth. Vehicle and reference agents were used in every test as the negative and positive controls, and the assays were performed in duplicate
